Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to gas 4 or 180c

* Step 2

Prepare the baking trays by cutting greaseproof paper to fit

* Step 3

Melt the butter in a pan on the hob and bring to a frothy boil

* Step 4

Meanwhile place sugar and vanilla in a bowl then add melted butter and beat well

* Step 5

Add flour, baking powder and salt.

* Step 6

Using your fingers firstly crumble the mixture then as it comes together gently knead into a ball - if you have warm hands, then wrap the dough in cling and refrigerate for half an hour or more.

* Step 7

Add chocolate chunks or whatever else you've chosen and press lightly into the cookie dough or halve the dough and make 2 different types of cookie.

* Step 8

Roll mixture into small balls about 1½ inches diameter evenly space on baking sheet and slightly flatten top. A tip here: make cookie dough, roll into balls and then flatten, freeze on trays. When they are fully frozen transfer them to bags to store in freezer.

* Step 9

Place in centre of oven or on racks as close as possible to centre of oven and bake for 8 - 10 minutes (8 minutes for top rack, 10 minutes for lower rack) - if using pre-made cookie dough from the freezer, place in trays 30 mins before baking and bake at same heat for 14 minutes

* Step 10

Remove from oven and leave to cool on their trays - if you move them too soon they may fall apart - when sufficiently cooled remove to wire racks to fully cool
